Pokemon New Journey: Kanto (Eng. Version)

Episode 4

I tried my best but there may be some mistakes. In case there are, I apologize.

Episode 4

My mother and I looked at the man in shock for a few moments. We probably looked like two fish out of water, or maybe idiots, although I don't think my mother would have been happy to be called stupid. Some things were not said as a joke, and Adelaide was very proud of her intelligence and knowledge.

"Why right now?" my mother asked in a trembling voice.

"The situation has worsened" the man answered firmly.

The woman frowned thoughtfully.

"But we haven't finished collecting all the information we need yet"

“I know! ... I know, sorry Adel but we can't wait" his tone, first harsh and a little angry, faded to become low and anxious.

At that moment we realized that the man must have heard or understood something important. After all, Fabian hardly ever got angry.

"What did you hear dad?" my words couldn't hide the fear I was starting to feel. If my father reacted like that it meant that the situation was really, really serious.

Fabian looked sadly at his son but, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a strong pride.

Yuki was just too smart, which is why he and his wife were nothing short of overprotective towards him.

They loved him more than anything else in the world and would do anything for him. They had spoiled him a little, he was their only child after all, but their son had never taken advantage of it.

There had even been a time when Yuki's behavior had worried them. He was very mature so it was difficult for him to make friends with his schoolmates, he preferred to talk to his teachers or with the other scientists at the laboratory.

This didn't mean, however, that he was not a child. He was afraid of the dark and was terrified of deep water. He got lost in the stories that his imagination created, he got excited when he and his wife came home from work but, at the same time, he never asked for too expensive gifts although he knew very well that they weren’t poor, far from it really.

He could count on his fingers the times in which Yuki had thrown a tantrum but they never had the need to put him in detention. He always ended up realizing he was wrong, only to apologize with tears in his eyes.

He and Adelaide had never been able to resist that look.

Fabian was sure, despite their current situation, that he was the luckiest parent and husband in the world.

"While you were sleeping I heard voices and tried to listen to what they were saying"

"What did you hear?" Adelaide immediately asked.

Yuki knew that he would not like the answer when the man looked down at the dirty floor they were sitting on.

“Apparently they realized we don't have the answers they were looking for. They intend to kill us tomorrow "

His father's voice was tired and defeated, Yuki hated hearing him talk like that. He hated the idea of seeing his parents suffer.

“Tomorrow…"

His mother was visibly shocked and had started shaking. They were running out of time.

"Unfortunately we do not have all the information we would have wanted but it will have to be enough"

"Between the two options, I prefer to risk and fail rather than wait to be tortured to death," the words came out of my mouth without my consent. It wasn't a very good thing to say in such a situation, but all three of us knew it would be far better to die quickly trying to escape than to find ourselves at the mercy of those monsters.
